Lepidozia

Lepidozia is a genus of small leafy liverworts (non-flowering bryophytes) in the family Lepidoziaceae, found in damp, shaded habitats such as forest floors, rotting wood and rock crevices. It is a wild moss-like plant rather than a plant grown in gardens, so care guidance applies only to keeping it in a moist, shaded spot.
